Long Valley Teen Smashes Car Through Chester Store

No one was injured Friday morning in accidental crash.

A 17-year-old Long Valley female drove her Acura sedan drove through the storefront of an AT&T AMF Wireless in Chester Friday morning, according to Chester Borough police.

The driver was uninjured and no one inside the store was hurt, according to Chester Borough police at the scene.

The driver mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal rather than the brake when parking in front of the store, resulting in the smashed storefront, police said.
